DEWALT 20V MAX Bluetooth Speaker, 100 ft Range, Durable for Jobsites, Phone Holder Included, Lasts 8-10 Hours with Single Charge (DCR010), Black Yellow

I was getting really tired of my love/hate relationship with bluetooth speakers. First of all, they all look the same, which is UGLY. Is it just me or are those black tube designs just the ugliest thing ever?! I also don't give a hoot about colored 'party lights' that only serve to kill my battery. I'm not having a party and it isn't 1986 anymore, sadly. I just wanted a decent speaker to listen to podcasts while I clean the house or work in the yard, something loud enough to hear when I move around to other rooms or areas. It seemed like a simple ask, and yet all I could find was cheap junk with terrible sound or overpriced decent sound that was still ugly. I ended up getting creative with my search terms, and somehow discovered a 'jobsite speaker' by another brand. This gave me the lightbulb moment: "Does DeWalt make a bluetooth speaker??" and the answer is YES. I spent more on this than I would have on any other bluetooth speaker for sure, but I can justify it. For one thing, everything I've ever used by DeWalt has been high quality and never disappoints. Secondly, since it's DeWalt I knew it would be durable and rugged, which makes me feel less worried about the price, because I know it will hold up. And finally, it uses my DeWalt 20V Max batteries! So now I don't need to worry about investing in a speaker with limited battery life, because I use my own DeWalt battery. Things I Like: 1. Uses my existing DeWalt batteries, which I can switch out. So now when the battery dies, I don't need to go charge it, I simply swap out the battery. I LOVE THIS. 2. DeWalt quality housing. It's rugged. The black ends are rubberized. I mostly use it in the house, but now that the weather is getting better I can work in the yard with it, take it camping, etc. I've even taken it with me in my truck because I prefer how it connects to my phone's bluetooth over my truck's built-in system. 3. Speaking of Bluetooth, the connection is FAST. I honestly never really paid attention to how fast (or not) a device connects until I got this. It connects almost instantly. 4. Front speaker screen/grill is metal. I don't need to worry about poking a hole in it, ripping it or dust, dirt or debris clinging to it. 5. Easy buttons. Power, volume, forward & back and bluetooth connect are all right there and easy to use. Covered in waterproof rubber too, no spaces for water or debris to get caught. The audio ports are also covered with a rubber flap for moisture protection. 6. It has an 3.5mm jack for an audio cable. This isn't on all bluetooth speakers, annoyingly, and it's a valuable feature to me. I like that I can connect my Sony voice recorder to it with an audio cable and listen to recordings from meetings on a larger speaker. The voice recorder doesn't have bluetooth, so before this I had to transfer the files to a device that did. 7. It's also a power bank! It has a traditional USB port, so I can charge my phone or other USB device, making this great for travel, power outages, camping, etc. 8. It has a space in the handle which can hold your phone, which is handy if you're charging your phone or if you're playing music from it. 9. It has two mounting holes as well as a hole in the handle, so this can be mounted or hung in a variety of ways. 10. It's loud! I mostly play podcasts and voices are harder to make out at a distance. I can play this in one room of my house and walk around pretty much anywhere in my house and hear it for the most part. 11. The bluetooth range is crazy! I tested this on the first day I got it and left my phone playing inside my house, walked outside, down my long driveway and into the woods before it started cutting out. I'd say it was a good 150+ feet. Best range by far of all the bluetooth speakers & headphones I've used over the years. 12. It has a removable power cord! You don't need to use the battery, you can also simply plug it into the wall with the included power cord. This is great if you just want to keep it in one place all the time or if you don't have any free batteries. Downsides: 1. There's nothing really that I "dislike", but a couple of caveats. It is heavy. I easily carry it around the house but it's definitely on the heavier side, just something to consider. I'd still take 'heavy & durable' over 'light & garbage' any day. 2. The sound seems a little "boxed in". It's not bad, it's not muffled exactly, it's hard to describe. It could be that the metal grill might be hindering the sound slightly. I've considered unscrewing it to expose the speakers to see if the sound is better but I haven't bothered because it's not that big of a deal. It's not that the sound is bad, I just feel like the style of the metal plate with holes in it (as opposed to fabric mesh) might be closing in the sound a bit. But it looks like you can easily unscrew it and remove it, so that's something you can try if you feel the need. 3. There's no radio. I see this complaint in other reviews and it's fair enough, especially given the price. I personally don't care, I just play the radio via my phone through the speaker, but they do make a larger version with a radio if you really gotta have a radio. 4. My only real complaint is that there's nowhere to keep the power cord. I've already misplaced it several times. You cannot leave it attached to the unit because it plug in to the same spot as the battery. I tried wrapping it around the handle but I carry this around a lot and that was annoying. A little cord clip/holder would be perfect. NOTE: Like most DeWalt tools, you do NOT get the battery with this purchase, just an FYI. UPDATE: I happened to re-read this over a year later. I use this every single day. I now pair it with my laptop and use it for ALL sound, TV shows I stream, etc. Can't imagine life without it. Also, I forgot all about my "boxed in" sound observation. I don't notice that at all now, I think it was just an adjustment from my old speaker. But I'll leave the comment in case anyone else has the same initial concern.

Overall, this is a great speaker. I've been using it daily on my job site and in my construction office. Below are my pro's and con's. Pro's - Impressive sound quality. For how small this thing is, it sounds great. - Very portable. Small but not too small. I've included a photo next to the DCD805 for size comparison. - Lightweight (obviously contingent on which battery is mounted) - Plenty of power options. You can power this thing with either the included power cable, a 12v battery or a 20v battery. - Great battery life. I'll go about 6-8 hours on 1 single 1.7ah Power Stack battery and can stretch that to a 3-5 days on a 5ah power stack battery. God only knows how long it'll last on a 15ah FlexVolt! - Very durable and rugged. There is no question to the build quality, it is top notch. Everything feels like it can take a serious hit without causing catastrophic damage. - Phone holder. You can stick your phone in the top of the grab handle and it rests there pretty securely. Even fits my 14 Pro Max with a rugged case on it. - Better than advertised range. DeWALT claims 100ft max bluetooth range but I've made it to 165ft before the music started to cut out, and that's with trucks, generators and general construction tools in the way. Unbelievable! - AUX input & USB. You can charge your phone off the speaker while it's in the stand if you plug it in with USB cable, so that's super nice. Con's - Slightly lacking in the bass department. This is such a small con and I can't stress that enough, more nit-picky than anything. But I wish there was a bigger woofer in this thing to give my music a little more oomph. Obviously you can't compare this to a Sonos Move or anything. There is bass, but some music can sound a little more treble-y when I'm used to deeper bass on those songs. - USB over USB-C. Again, nit-picky, but I wish there was USB-C on this speaker. Maybe even have USB + USB-C to allow for more options. Everything I have is USB-C, so that would've been nice to see. The pro's heavily outweigh the cons here and it's no competition that this is by far one of the best job site speakers on the market that can for sure take a beating. 10/10 would recommend!

This is a great worksite speaker! It puts out more volume than you'll ever want to use on a residential project and a battery lasts forever! The sound is great, bluetooth connectivity is great, range is great, and the small-ish form factor is great. The built in handle, charging capabilities and phone cradle are really nice touches as well. Connecting to the speaker is quick and intuitive if you've ever connected to a bluetooth device. I'm super pleased with this thing and I now use it in my garage as well when I'm home. I got it on sale and it was money well spent.

It’s kinda loud for a little speaker but easier to carry anywhere beach camping and it’ll charge your phone

I already own several DeWalt 20V tools, so this felt like the perfect Bluetooth speaker to add to my setup. It gets a lot right—almost perfectly—though there are a few areas a future model could improve. Pros • Impressive sound for its size. It produces rich, clear audio from a compact body—though it doesn’t quite match the performance of the Bose SoundLink Max. • Flexible power options. It runs on the included AC cord, a 12V battery, or a 20V battery, offering excellent versatility. • Outstanding battery life. I get roughly 3–5 days of use from a 5Ah PowerStack. • Built tough. The construction feels extremely durable and ready to handle serious job-site abuse. • Integrated phone stand. The carry handle doubles as a secure phone holder and even accommodates my 14 Pro Max with a rugged case. • Extended Bluetooth range. Rated for up to 30 meters, but I’ve experienced connections as far as 50 meters. • 3.5mm auxiliary input. Supports wired playback, including lossless audio. • USB charging port. Lets you charge your phone while it sits in the stand—a thoughtful and practical feature. Cons • No USB-C support. USB-C offers faster charging, bidirectional power, lossless audio capability, and more. • Doesn’t charge DeWalt batteries. It would be far more useful if it also functioned as a battery charger. • Limited to 120V / 60Hz. No dual-voltage support, making it unsuitable for use outside North America. • Bluetooth 5.2. While still reliable, the standard dates back to 2020 and isn’t the latest available. Overall: This speaker has been an excellent addition to my toolkit—especially for job-site use.

This was a gift for my partner since he likes to be at work listening to music it is incredible for construction it is very resistant it sounds very loud and its price is very affordable

I purchased this radio to use in my garage. For this purpose the sound is great. After connecting a battery the Bluetooth connect light was blinking automatically. Connecting Bluetooth to my phone couldn't be easier. One thing I was disappointed with is there is no storage feature for the electrical cord. If you typically use a battery to power the radio, I could see the power cord getting misplaced. I realize this is a minor inconvenience. You should know this radio is not a battery charger. You can either connect a cord or battery to power the radio, but one must be disconnected to connect the other. My phone does not fit completely in the handle. One end sticks up. I have a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in an Otterbox case. Overall, this is a great little radio. If you need a shop or work radio, I say go for it.

Had DCR028 for 5 years. After lots of abuse, it finally quit. This unit is lighter, sounds just as good for its intended purpose (worksite music), and has the same Dewalt batt functionality. It forfeits radio functionality but apps provide same experience. Highly recommend.

A qualidade do som é razoável. O fato de usar as mesmas baterias das ferramentas dá uma autonomia muito boa. Acompanha um cabo para ligar em tomadas de 110 V. Pelo preço poderia ser um pouco mais potente, mas pra quem gosta de Dewalt é um bom negócio.

Good product, only negative is I found it on other sellers site for less than £100. I’ll shop around a bit more in future.

Se la regalé a mi esposo. Le encanta & la lleva con él a todas partes. Suena durísimo y con buena calidad de sonido

Works so well. Loud enough for parties and rugged. Good discount for open box item too.

The speaker sounds good for it size and build quality is great. But while sync with a video playing I have experienced audio out of sync with many different devices working with this Bluetooth speaker.
